Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz, President Emmanuel Macron, and Prime Minister Donald Tusk express, according to the news agency AFP, their "deep concern over the large number of irregularities" in the election, where the ruling party Georgian Dream was declared the winner.
The three leaders want to see thorough investigations into the election and otherwise threaten to stop Georgia's process towards EU membership.
The same was repeated by many at the so-called EPC summit in Budapest on Thursday, where Georgia's Prime Minister Irakli Kobachidze was present.
The door to the EU is not open to Georgia if they do not have democratic elections, emphasizes Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson (The Moderate Party) in Budapest.
Georgian Dream has been criticized for introducing laws that restrict LGBTQ rights and civil society activities.
